G.G. Allin - Carnival Of Excess



One of my favorite GG records.  His best bleak country record.  A must hear, even for GG haters.  GG was notorious for his punk rock and his stage antics, but this album shows another side of him.  
Alongside Dee Dee Ramone, GG was the real deal, a true punk rock genius.  He even covers "Carmelita" on this record, a Hank Williams song, and now Hank Williams III covers a GG Allin song live.  It all comes full circle.  Download and recognize the tourtured genius that was GG Allin.
Oh yeah, and a big thank you to Nick Wusz for making me listen to GG and discover one of my all time favorite artists, and a big FUCK YOU to Asa who hates GG.  But he will learn...

  1. thanks for the link. "Carmelita" is a Warren Zevon song though. it was not written until 1975, long long after Hank Williams was dead.
